Venus OS Large features menu missing on 2.80~33Large?

just the title really...

installed already on a rpi3B+, works fine SignalK OK and now on my rpi4.

in both installations the Settings OS Large Features menu is missing!

am I missing something? are they hidden somewhere (v.well!)?

The problem with Large tools disappearing was due to a bug in SetupHelper. It's fixed now

I'm running v2.80~33-lage-24,

and you're right that GUiMods is the problem.

I had GUiMods on the other root partition and was not active.


EDIT

Now I'm home again. now double checked and I actually remembered correctly the first time


GuiMod is installed and working

Large menu and Node-red works

Temperature mod with cpu temp works


v2.80 ~ 33-lage-24

pi3b + ok

pi4 v1.4 8GB ok

@Johnny Brusevold did you manage to boot this on the RPI4 8Gb without any modifications?

I have the same problem on my Cerbo. I wonder if there is a conflict with Gui-Mods?

definitely related to Kevin's tools happens as soon as I install SetupHelper even before setting up Gui-Mods.

Reported to him in github, should be something fairly simple- iirc he's not using the Large version of the OS, so easy to miss.

cheers

There and bug with SetupHelper but I found a way to do the installation.


I went back to the normal firmware version


Cancel the line with a # "nohup / data / SetupHelper / reinstallMods> / dev / null &" from file: rcS.local. So that SetupHelper does not update


Install the Venus OS Large version


activate: Signal K and Node-Red in the parameters


Return the normal command "nohup / data / SetupHelper / reinstallMods> / dev / null &"


restart the GX

If this problem is that the large menu doesn't appear with SetupHelper installed, then it has been fixed

Prior to v2.90 (now in beta), large images were downloaded from a dropbox site managed by Victron then installed manually. This site (or at least the link to it) have been removed from the documentation on large images.

As of v2.90 large images are included in the normal on-line updates and downloads available here:

http://updates.victronenergy.com/feeds/venus/

However, you must already be on v2.90. So upgrade to v2.90 standard and you should then see a selection in the online updates menu to select the large version which you can then install from that menu.

Note that VeCanSetup does not currently work with v2.90. There is a beta version of that package that PARITALLY works but a lot of the kinks have not been worked out and things most likely will substantially change before a v2.90-compatible version is released.

Remember you can not upgrade a pre 2.90 RPI to 2.90. You need to create a new boot image

Hey thanks Master ! :-)

So the way to go if OSlarge and CAN functionality are crutial will be :

Wait until 2.90 stable is available.
Wait untli VeCanSetup scripts are available for the 2.90 stable.


Any idea about estimated time to wait ?


best regards

Christoph

No you should not need to wait until the v2.90 release. The beta is pretty stable.


I am working on an upgrade to VeCanSetup but not sure when that will be available. I'm still sorting out several details. The VeCanSetup beta may work for you. What type of CANbus interface are you using?

I'm seeing the same issue with my Cerbo gx running firmware v3.10. I'm able to select the large image type but cannot modify any of the features to enable node red.

Is there something I'm missing or is this a known firmware bug to be fixed by Victron?
